So Tina decided to live here in Cleveland with us. We’ve decided to take the basement’s sideroom as a bedroom since my old room is too small. We’ve been tossing stuff out left and right, and largely tore down a bar. We aren’t keeping most of the wood, but some of the flats are good for tourney scape purposes.

We bought a pretty big dresser today to house our clothes; the thing took a while to get into the basement. I’m just glad it’s down there, the drawers are still sitting in my van.

We’ve found the old Super Nintendo too. Hopefully it works. We’ve found Zelda, Mario, and Sim City so far. How many still work though? We’ll have to find out when we get the wreck of a basement fixed.

Fellow Heroscapers, please join me in a journey back to the earlier days of C3G when no one had any idea that this group was built to last. Originally posted on 8–25–2011.

How long have you followed C3G? What was the first set you remember?

I’ve followed C3G since right around the release of World’s Finest, which is still an awesome set. I still haven’t played a few scenarios from that though. Someday soon ....

I started playtesting for the X-Men set, which was a lot of fun. My first playtests were on Ravaged Road, which was the first map I made for the C3G mapmaking group, which Griffin invited me to because I expressed some strong opinions (like I usually do) and I guess some of my Valhalla maps looked okay.

Fee fi fo fum! I smell a custom competition! Giants come in all shapes and sizes, er, all shapes and one size: huge. While most of these giants are solitary soldiers in Valhalla, some have bonds so tight they remain together even here, and it is your job to help these gentle* giants settled in around here.

Visit the Contest Thread for more information, and be sure to get your entries in by September 30 to qualify for all the fabulous prizes.**

*These giants are not to be considered gentle. Design at your own risk.
**There are no prizes.

So
@LoveElemental
is coming to Clevland tomorrow. Hopefully she'll have a good time. I know I will. She's going to be in town until the 28th. We gotta make all the best time from it.

We were considering going to the casino to play the pennyslots... she's lucky, but we're both broke 20-somethings. Maybe she'll turn a $10 profit.

We do want to play some Heroscape while we're together. And some other games I've bought over the years, for example I'm super excited to play Twilight Struggle with her. I also want to give Summoner Wars an honest go, but I'm ok if we don't get to that.

As a more plasticrack-birthday present to myself, I've gone ahead and ordered this guy from miniature market.

I’ve always loved mythology, ever since I was very young. I also enjoy Heroscape battles that turn into fast-paced, bloodsoaked massacres. Let’s have a look at a unit that scratches both itches, shall we?
